In a war-torn Andean village, a widow’s pack of stray dogs becomes
living testimony to the violence that scarred a generation and the memory that refuses to die.
In a ghost town high in the Peruvian Andes, an ageing widow cares for nine stray dogs who follow her like shadows.
Each dog comes from a lost life—a schoolboy taken by the army, a midwife swept away by the river, a teenager betrayed by blood, a soldier who never came home—each carrying the scent of violence and loss on its matted coat.
As the woman recounts their stories to an unseen listener, the animals become living proof, their fur and scars accusing both guerrillas and state forces. Jauría is a lyrical yet powerful monologue blending testimony and myth to
demonstrate how collective memory can still bite.
